Snow in July blog party

Although I can appreciate the peaceful cleanliness of an all white decorated room or the purity of an all white outfit - I need color.  So, I knew my contribution to Marcia's Snow in July, White Themed Blog Party would be a little bit harder for me to work on.  So my "white themed" paper doll, which originally started in my head to be ALL white, ended up having bits of gold and cream and taupe in it - and of course, red lips.

But I'm okay with it not being perfectly ALL white because, after all, is white really white?... I'll always remember the scene in the film "Girl with a Pearl Earring" when Johannes Vermeer asks the maid what color are the clouds...

Look, Griet. 
Look at the clouds.
What color are they?

White?
No...
not white.
Yellow.
Blue...
and grey.
There are colors in the clouds.


         Thanks for visiting my blog for this party and make sure you visit the other participants for more Snow in July!  And don't forget to come back on July 28th for a special giveaway!
